Corporate Slave Hero Says He’s Quitting His Job

Ahead of my transfer was Slam Street, the largest city in human territory, further out of the Empire City.

Aside from the poor, the reason I've come to a lawless zone where criminals and others hide is to sell off my partner, the Holy Sword.

No matter how many words you stop being brave, you will be certified a brave man as long as you have the Holy Sword.

Let's just let go of this cursed gear.

"Certainly ahead..."

As I walked, I wore a hood on my robe so I wouldn't be seen.

Take the path lined with borough shops and turn some alleys.

That's how we got there, the merchant's shop where we buy anything and sell anything away.

What kind of thing refers to stolen goods or a dish that is sarcastic.

Because I handle such things, I naturally manage not to divulge information about customers or have legs on them.

That's why I go out of my way to sell the Holy Sword here.

"... Welcome"

When I walked into the store, a guy at the counter greeted me like a shopkeeper.

They don't have any customers other than me.

That's your chance.

"I'd like to ask you to buy a weapon"

"Ha, is that a reason?

"Unique. But it's too valuable to be sold by buying a table. It's easy to get your feet on."

"Well, why don't you show me your stuff first?

I take off the holy sword I was wearing on my hips belt and place it on the counter with every sheath.

There were signs that the owner would take a breath.

"It's the holy sword of the brave. Can you buy it off?

"Ma, wait! Let's see if it's real or not..."

The shopkeeper's assessment began.

I look over a few minutes and lick it around again and again to the tip of the sword.

When it was over, the shopkeeper came back with an irresistible face to hide the upset.

"... I've never seen a holy sword. So I don't know if this is a real holy sword. But there's no doubt that this is incredibly good. Are you seriously gonna sell this?

"Oh. It happened to be something I got, and I can't use it. You'd better get that for money, wouldn't you?

"That's right..."

The owner wouldn't dream of me being a brave man.

No matter what you think, there's no way a brave man sells a holy sword.

The Holy Sword is a legendary weapon that can only be used by brave men.

I can't put a price on it.

But not if it's 'The Holy Sword I stole from the Brave'.

I can sell this sword I bought to the brave man himself this time.

Even if not, there must be some aristocrats who only want it as an ornament.

"... if indeed the Holy Sword, greedy aristocrats will give any money. Even if it's not the Holy Sword, the buyer will soon follow it if it's so good."

After thinking about it, the shopkeeper put his fingers up with both hands and pointed at this one.

The number of fingers is eight.

"How about eight thousand gold coins?

"Eight thousand."

Of course, gold is the largest unit in a certain currency: copper, silver and gold.

One skewer roasted with a piece of copper coin.

I can eat a meal in five slices.

And in ten sheets it becomes silver coin, and in ten sheets it becomes gold coin.

Eight thousand pieces of gold, or three thousand pieces of change if you build a house.

Basically, life would be self-sufficient because you're going to hide in a lonely village in the back of the mountain like you don't even know me.

If I had 3,000 pieces left, I wouldn't know if I'd run out of them in my life.

Let's take care of it as insurance when it comes to trouble.

"I could wear it higher...... I can't even say for sure that this is the real Holy Sword, so I'll have to fit it at this level of price. I don't know what to say, but other stores might put it on higher."

"No, I'll sell it here. By the way, if it was a real holy sword, how much would it have cost?

"Really? Well... you're about to light 20,000 gold coins."

It was higher than I thought.

But I just got so much, I don't have a use for it.

"Then why don't you just shut the fuck up for twelve thousand pieces of that difference? I don't want you to ever talk about my existence. What a national treason, huh?

"You can do that. It's cheap for you. I could have put it higher, but the only thing I could have done for this price was this fall. This store will never sell you."

"... That's a contract. Eight thousand gold coins, please."

"Aye."

Thus I let go of my holy sword and earned a fortune of eight thousand gold coins.

I just can't take that kind of money with my hands.

So the treasure is a magic bag whose capacity is increased by the magic power of the owner.

There are brave men, and I have a lot of magic.

This bag also has enough capacity for a few houses affected by my magic power.

Eight thousand pieces of gold, etc., got in really well.

"I let you make a good deal. If you need anything else, why don't you ask me?

"Oh. Let me count on you."

We'll have a light goodbye and I'll be out of the store.

No heart or light body.

I'm pretty sure it's lighter physically, but it's probably a lot less of a mental burden.

Let's get you healed up in time.

Funds were obtained for the concealment.

Build houses in the back of the mountains, grow crops, hunt demons, and live.

If there's something you'll need funding for, you might want to sneak into the adventurer family business.

Come on, it's time to leave near the village in the back of the mountain where I was keeping my eyes open.

"What!? The brave man escaped!?"

'Empire' in possession of human territory.

In the castle where its king lives, there is confusion that anger flies and people rush around busily.

The cause is the brave man stripped of his hero's name, who fled before his enemies by coming to the sight of the Demon King.

"That's unprecedented!

"Minister, calm down a little."

"But the king! This is happening..."

I'm telling you to calm down.

The present emperor, with his white beard, beckoned a minister who had no brain but to yell and scatter from earlier.

The minister, bewitched by the supreme power, has no choice but to lay down his face and shut up.

"... go on, Knight Luke"

"Ha! After missing the Demon King, Brave Adele left us at Demon King's Castle and transferred us somewhere with the Demon Stone of Transfer. The Demon King told the three of us that the brave men had disappeared... and he saw the gap and succeeded in escaping."

"Hmm, that was a disaster. Thank you."

"Words without body… and may I say one last word?

"Tell me."

"- Brave Adele was a dangerous man. Keeping such a man alive with a brave man… before that can even be a damage to the Empire"

Knight Luke speaks pale about his former companions.

Its eyes dwelt in hatred, and even the emperor felt enough hatred to clog his words.

"Wow, ok...... if your lord says so much, let's take action. Tell the people to report anyone who sees Adele."

"Thank you. If you know where Adele is, please don't tell me first. I want to see a living hell of death."

"Let's remember that, too. Now back off and rest your body."

"Ha!"

Knight Luke leaves the royal family.

Knight Luke is clenching his fist so much that his nails pierce his palm, and eating his teeth so much that his teeth are going to be put on him.

The emperor, who dropped him off like that, faced the minister with a cold sweat.

"I don't know what's going on...... I've never seen him so angry as that one in Knight Luke"

"It is one of the highest forces in our country, and I was wondering if it would be harder for you to take the demands wherever possible..."

"I know that! But... I didn't know that brave Adele would betray me"

"I thought he was an imperial submissive dog."

"... reasonably good. We're not gonna do a full-scale search for a while."

"Do you mind?

"The brave man has credit for crusading the former demon king. Maybe we relied too much on the brave Adele."

The king was looking up at the royal ceiling so that he could think in the past.

There are only six years before the former demon king dies and the present demon king appears.

Even during this time, the brave men fought demons for the Empire, for the people, and I guess there was no such thing as when they were at rest.

"This is a frequent rest to the brave Adele. From what I hear, the current Demon King also took on quite a deep hand. Let's get this one back on the line before they start waving again."

"Yes, I did. Let us speak to the mighty throughout the empire."

"Nice to meet you. Awkward...... let's hope he comes back too"

I don't know how much damage I'd do if I just forced a brave man to fight, get rumbled around with disgust.

At this point, we just have to wait for him to come back from himself.

Rather, I can only rejoice that there is no damage.

- Someone was listening to such a conversation between the emperor and the minister from outside the room.

"Chip... just find out what you need to capture"

The man reported that there was nothing in the emperor, Knight Luke.

He who burns flames of hatred to the brave Adele.

"Adele... I'm in trouble if I don't get you to die eventually. For me to be a brave man."

Luke smiles evil and leaves the spot behind.

Nobody knows his nature yet.
